The bridge is now in the care of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty National Trust . It originally carried the A55 road . Built by Thomas Telford , the bridge is a suspensionbridge spanning the River Conwy next to Conwy Castle , a World Heritage Site . The bridge was completed in 1826 and replaced the ferry at the same point. Telford matched the bridge s supporting towers with the castle s turrets. It is in the same style as one of Telford s other bridges, the Menai SuspensionBridge crossing the Menai Strait. The Conwy bridge runs alongside the Conwy railway bridge wrought iron tubular railway bridge built by Robert Stephenson . Until Stephenson s bridge was built, Telford s bridge was the only crossing of the river, and therefore the only way to get to the ferry that leaves for Ireland. Built into the rock on which Conwy Castle stands, it is very close to the castle and very small only about 2 metres across .

File Crossing The Yukon Suspension Bridge.JPG right thumb Crossing The Yukon SuspensionBridge The Yukon SuspensionBridge is a pedestrian cable suspensionbridge located on mile 46.5 on the South Klondike Highway in Northern British Columbia , Canada. It is 200 ft 60.96 metres long and stretches 57 ft 17.36 metres over the Tutshi River Canyon. There is an admission charge and it is visited by over 25 000 people every summer between the months of May and September. History The Yukon SuspensionBridge was completed in 2006 by Surespan Construction Group. The bridge s initial estimated cost for construction was one million Canadian dollars but due to the remote location and limitations on building supplies upon completion costs grew to three million Canadian dollars. In 2011 the bridge was privately acquired and now is locally owned and operated. Construction and Design Due to the Yukon SuspensionBridge s isolated location there were challenges in the construction. The bridge was erected using galvanized steel cables, and required a helicopter to install the far side towers before it could be suspended over the river. This costly method was the only way to get the cables across because the other side of the canyon was completely inaccessible. Design of the interpretive areas and main building are done entirely in wood, since concrete is not available in these remote conditions where temperatures during winter reach 38 Celsius 36.4 Fahrenheit . ref Kemp, Scott M.
